Marcell Dareus’ interception for touchdown return was a thing of beauty. Oh and he injured Colt McCoy. MVP, MVP, MVP. (edit: 100% sarcasm, which when you are writing a post [as meager as this one] at 2:30am it’s hard to convey. My bad. I was simply trying to point out that Dareus made arguably the two most influential plays of the game.)

Congratulations to both Alabama and Texas. They kept us entertained at the end, and for the indifferent fan, that’s all you can ask for.

If you have thoughts on the game, leave them below.

Win. 37-14. My brother from another mother has the post game thoughts, I cosign them all. I hope to see you all, and more of you, next year.

While residing in Blacksburg, I made one exception a year to travel to Tennessee. Crazy Herb’s Fireworks in Shady Valley, TN was an annual destination a week before I celebrated Lady America’s Independence. A boy needs both alcohol and explosives, not glorified sparklers, to blow off some fingers.

But we hope the Big Ten goes hard at Texas and Nebraska; let chaos reign. Dan Shanoff has an interesting take and thinks Navy as a football only member makes perfect sense. His thesis is built upon the idea that a championship game isn’t a factor for Big Ten expansion. Whether it is or isn’t, we think it is, there will be a Big Ten Championship Game if the conference expands. No money will be left on the table.

U Inspired Dynasties. Conquest Chronicles serves up some spicy food for thought. Was the Trojan’s “modern-day” dynasty on par with Miami’s?

So it’s back to Atlanta, again. Will the third time be the charm?

Carlos Dunlap, the defensive MVP of last year’s BCS National Championship Game, was arrested at 3:58 a.m. Tuesday on DUI charges.
